Used 111S prices

[ukhmartin]

Looking into purchasing a 111s however the private sale prices for 02 / 03 models seem very high when compared to Parker's guide figures. Is Parker's wrong or can I expect to haggle sellers down £1500 - £2000 ??

Parkers = garbage on Elise prices.

It is fair to assume though that sellers havve a 5-10% haggle factor. Also, not the best time of year to be buying

Quite a few out there but getting more bullish a market with summer upon us (alledgedly) you arent going to achieve anywhere like that off the £ at any point in the yr actually. Listen if its a good cherished example and the owners know the market they are not going to budge much.

Parkers Guide - owned by same company that owns Sunday Sport Newspaper - NISM!!

As above, ignore Parkers and look at the classifieds here and on SELOC (The Lotus Enthusiasts Club - http://forums.seloc.org - free to register and join)

If you're looking at getting a good, clean car, with good history, long MOT, Tax and upgraded bits then don't expect to budge much on price. I was willing to drop £500 max for a quick sale but any lower and I'd have started taking bits off the car (ITG, Head Unit, Sub etc.).
